With one of their two remaining scholarships left, CSU football coach Jim McElwain is expected to sign former Windsor offensive lineman Joey O’Connor.

During McElwain’s address to boosters during Wednesday’s letter of intent signing day festivities, McElwain did not use O’Connor’s name but hinted Windsor residents in the audience might be happy with where one of those scholarships is going.

At 6-foot-4, 295 pounds, O’Connor was a four-star prospect by Rivals.com in 2012 and signed with Ohio State but has since left the program. O’Connor has not officially made a decision, but it is strongly believed he will make an announcement to sign with the Rams in the near future.

O’Connor sat out this past year with a knee injury. He will have to sit out next year due to transferring and would have three years of eligibility left.
